What is Relationship & Family Therapy?
Relationship and family therapy focuses on improving relationships and communication patterns within couples or families. Instead of treating the individual in isolation, this form of therapy looks at the system: the interaction between partners or family members. The underlying idea is that psychological complaints are often embedded in, and maintained by, relationship patterns. By working on these patterns together, both individual wellbeing and the quality of the relationship can improve. At Mavera GGZ we offer relationship therapy for couples and family therapy for adult family members. We do not treat children under 18.

How does Relationship & Family Therapy work?
- 1
We start with a joint session in which everyone involved can share their perspective. We map the communication patterns and dynamics.
- 2
Together we identify the underlying needs, fears and expectations that play a role in the conflict or distance.
- 3
We practise new ways of communicating, listening and connecting, both in the therapy room and at home.

Who is Relationship & Family Therapy suitable for?
Relationship therapy is suitable for couples experiencing communication problems, conflicts, a loss of connection or other relational difficulties.
Family therapy is suitable for families in which tension, conflict or communication problems have a negative impact on the wellbeing of family members.
This form of therapy is also valuable when one family member has psychological complaints that affect the whole family system.
Reimbursement from basic health insurance
Relationship therapy is only reimbursed under the basic health insurance (Zvw) if one of the two partners has a DSM-5 classification and relationship therapy is part of the treatment plan.
